National Central University – " Complex Systems and Plasma
Sciences "
Principal Investigator: CHEN, Pei-Long
I. Analysis and Evaluation of the Key Field
(1) Current Achievements and Features
Complex systems are composite of many small units which interact through nonlinear
interactions and complex feedback loops. The systems thus exhibit spatial structures and
dynamical behavior ranging from simple ordering, through complex structures and finally to
chaotic states in space and time. Complex systems cover a wide range of fields, including
fluids, condensed matters, plasmas, biological systems, as well as social, traffic and
financial systems. In the past thirsty years, with the developments of nonlinear dynamics,
statistical physics, high speed/high resolution measurements and large scale numerical
simulations, complex systems have become a very important cross-discipline research
subject, with enormous potential of practical applications. Different complex systems share
similar nonlinear interaction and feedback mechanisms, and their composing units have
many common characters. For example, by the mechanisms of controls, external random or
regular driving, and feedbacks, many complex systems show a range of possible behaviors
such as long spatial and temporal correlation, multiscale avalanche, self-organized criticality,
chaos, and stochastic resonances.
Strong field laser systems which have seen great development in recent years
internationally are also important experimental systems for studying problems in complex
systems and others. The strong field lasers can perform many leading edge experiments. The
spin off of technical development is also valuable to the related industry. Strong
electromagnetic fields can probe relativistic plasma nonlinear optics. This is a very new
research area. Nonlinear dynamics arising from interaction between light and plasmas
elucidate many fundamental mechanisms. Intense laser pulses can create all sorts of light
and particle sources to study many important topics. For example, ultrafast hard X rays can
resolve reaction dynamics of DNA, RNA, protein, and polymers, providing answers to
fundamental life sciences. Ultrafast infrared pulses can resolve motions and energy transfers
inside a molecule. Ultrafast THz pulses can probe electric field inside electronic materials,
helping the development of new devices.
NCU have done excellent researches in complex systems and plasma science and
technology, regarded as the best group in Taiwan. The researches in strong field laser, laser
plasma, dusty plasma, experimental and theoretical soft matter and biophysics have also
been the leading ones in Asia. Some are also world leading. Group members have received
many outstanding awards such as Academician, National Chair of MOE, and Outstanding
Research Award of NSC. Strong field laser plasma physics team has constructed a 100TW
laser with 3 synchronized light beams of 2 different wavelengths. The powers of these
beams are 100 TW, 15 TW and 6 TW, with power, wave shape, orientation deviations less
than 2%, 5% and 5 Rad respectively. The focused intensity achieved 1020 W/cm2, better
than lasers in similar classes. We have demonstrated that our manipulation of instantaneous
plasma structures has good application potential in higher harmonics quasi-phase matching,
X-ray laser, laser amplification by Raman back scattering, holography, etc. Our X-ray laser
is ready for practical applications, with the spectrum intensity at 32.8 nm being higher that
1
the third generation of synchrotron radiation, and peak intensity billion times stronger.
Frontier complex systems experimental research focus on various advanced topics in dusty
plasma system, non-equilibrium physics, biophysics, soft-matter and nonlinear physics with
various significant results published in prestigious journals such as Science, PNAS, Phys.
Rev. Lett., Biophys. J, etc. Theoretical Research in Nonlinear Complex Systems focuses on
the close interaction and collaborations among theorists and experimentalists, through the
establishment of the Center for Mathematics and Theoretical Physics to integrate theoretical
science resources and manpower. We have also co-hosted the third phase of the National
Center for Theoretical Sciences with TsingHua and ChiaoTung University.
(2) Current Leadership Status in Taiwan and Internationally
NCU has the leading research team in complex systems and plasma in Taiwan. For
example, our 100TW laser system is one of the best five worldwide, the Coulomb crystal
observed by the research team leaded by Prof. I in 1994 opened the new field of dusty
plasma complex system and his Science paper remained to be the top cited paper for
research accomplished in Taiwan. He was elected Academician by Academia Sinica in 2008.
Our team achieved various important results in complex systems and drew international
attention, for example New York Times had reported on our work in jamming of granular
flow in hopper. We have close collaborations with Institute of Atomic & Molecular Science
and Institute of Physics in Academia Sinica in areas such as nonlinear physics, biophysics,
strong-field physics, with several laboratories set up in our department. The “Complexity &
Life” focus group of National Center for Theoretical Sciences is continuously based in our
department.
(3) Important Contributions to Industry and the Social Development of the Country
We anticipate our unique light and particle sources from the 100 TW system can be
used in material manipulation and probing, biomedical therapy, nuclear physics, with
immense applications in basic science research. This table-top facility is much more
convenient as compared to the conventional large-scale light and particle sources. Just like
laser, MRI, and synchrotron radiation whose basic sciences were all developed by physicists,
we believe the downstream applications of our facilities would have very positive and deep
impact to mankind and society.
(4) The Major Differences or Breakthroughs enabled by the previous phase of “Plan
for Developing Top Universities and Research Centers”
We constructed a 100 TW laser system with 4 laser-plasma interaction and 4
downstream application experimental stations. We achieved 300 MeV mono-energetic
electron beam, 8 MeV proton beam, free electron laser with energy over 6 keV. This is the
foundation of further applications and researches. We have also setup a core experimental
facility of biophysics and soft matters, providing advance facility for sample preparation and
measurements. The creation of Center for Mathematics and Theoretical Physics provides a
cross-discipline platform for the support of collaborations among experimental, theoretical
and simulation researches.

(5) Description of the Current Status of the Existing Resources in the Research Center
and Allocation of All Funding Sources
Academia Sinica thematic project provides 3 year funding of NT$27 million to develop
strong field laser plasma physics. The PIs have received a total about NT$40 million
research grants from National Science Council each year.
(6) Analyses of the Current Statuses of Research Centers in the Same Field and Plans
for Future Development for the Research Center
Strong field laser plasmas research is a very hot topic. The goals are to increase laser
intensity, particle energy and X ray characteristics, to probe new physics and applications.
Europe has started the Extreme Light Initiative project, planning to build three 50 PW
demonstration lasers, and then coupling four 50 PW lasers to produce 200 PW power. Under
this high power, strong electromagnetic field in laser lights can produce electron-positron
pairs out of vacuum, studying the whole new vacuum structure experienced by electrons.
This is a fundamental breakthrough for basic science research. Currently 100 TW to 1 PW
international facilities are almost always in the national laboratory level facilities. Only very
few university laboratories have 100 TW level lasers. In the following we list a few facilities
which have lasers with pulse length less than 100 fs, repetition rate higher than three per
minutes, and power between 100 TW and 1PW.

Our strong field laser team is an university level laboratory with only three PI and three
postdocs. We cannot compete with national laboratory on pure laser power. However, by
continue improvement of laser quality, we can still maintain a world leader in research of
fundamental mechanism and down stream applications. Especially there are excellent
research groups on complex system in NCU for collaborations, with very good researches in
dusty plasma, granular materials, and complex fluids. Recently we also have very active

research in biophysics such as neutral network, cardiac dynamics, biomotors, and membrane
biophysics. All these researches will have close ties with strong field laser. In the following

complex systems and plasma science research center in Asia. Under this project, the
combination of 100 TW laser, advance experiments, theory and computational physics and
mathematics could create novel topics and applications.
Besides main project office, there are four subprojects, including Strong field laser

in nonlinear complex systems, and Pulse light source applications on materials control and
diagnosis. Main direction focuses on the international competitiveness of the 100TW laser
systems and its technical advancement, together with downstream applications in material
and biological systems, with strong theoretical support. These frontier researches will
explore new scientific territories and technologies, bringing breakthroughs and a new
paradigm to science.

II. Project Content
(1) Main Project
(Project Investigator: CHEN, Pei-Long)
The executive committee under the main project consists of the Chairman of
Physics Department and three sub-project leaders for the long-term development,
planning and supervising various projects. The main project will promote
inter-sub-project collaborations, sharing resources, conduct administrative work such as
purchasing, hiring, organizing workshops & meetings both locally and internationally.
This project emphases the integration of various expertise in different groups for
leading-edge research, for example the project of using femto-second laser to activate
living cells/vesicles integrate inter-disciplinary strengths from 5 different groups.
(2) Component 1: Strong Field Laser Plasma Physics & Applications
(Project Investigator: WANG, Jyh-Pyng)
In the last 4 years, we constructed a high-quality, multi-beam 100TW laser system
to make high energy, high flux, ultra-fast photon and particle sources available in
university-level laboratory, and also developed downstream applications. The first item
is high-quality electron accelerator and X-ray lasers. Currently there are 1GeV level
laser-plasma electron accelerators available internationally. However electron flux and
beam stability are not good enough for practical use. We have developed unique plasma
waveguide technique. If we can master the optical control of electron injection, its
combination with the waveguide technique will yield stable high flux, high energy
electron beams. With such beams, we can further develop ion channel free electron laser
to achieve 10 keV X rays and also reverse Compton scattering technique to obtain
photons between 10 keV X rays and 2 MeV gamma rays. These wavelength-tunable
light beams can excite nuclear energy levels, a valuable new tool for studying nuclear
physics. High quality electron accelerator can also be used to generate large quantity of
positrons. If these positrons can be trapped with electrons inside a Paul Trap, we can
study the electron-positron plasmas which will be a significant breakthrough in
astrophysics. In 32.8 nm band, the X ray laser we developed based on plasma waveguide
has very high brightness, 400 billion times that of synchrotron radiation. This can be
used on ultra-fast X ray flash photograph, coherent scattering, holography, as well as X
ray nonlinear optics. Besides X ray intensity, beam quality and stability are also the key
elements in application. Thus development in these aspects is also our top priority.
Besides X ray lasers, high harmonic generations are also important X ray source. Using
our advantage in double frequency-triple light sources, we may be able to achieve
multi-period quasi phase matching, extending high harmonics to 2.5-4 nm bands. On the
other hand, interaction between laser and solid film is also an important emerging field.
High power laser can push out electrons in solid thin film, creating a strong Coulomb
accelerating electrical fields and accelerating protons. High energy protons are important
particles for clinical radiation therapy. How to obtain 200 MeV protons from 100 TW to
1 PW laser is a very important research topic. Although we do not have PW lasers, as
long as we can understand the mechanism of proton acceleration, through international
collaborations using national-lab-class facility, we can still try to demonstrate such
experiments. Because solids have much higher electron density than gas, if we can
control electron density and energy distribution, the electrons can be used to generate
positrons and reverse Compton scattering. High power laser can control dynamics of
plasmas, which can also affect laser propagation, creating infrared, THz light, and X
6
rays. The key is to control this feedback loop. Intense electromagnetic field will also
produce nonlinear plasma dynamics due to relativistic effects, leading to double
refraction and polarization. This is also a new topic, which will help the study of black
holes, neutron stars and pulars.
(3) Component 2: Frontier Complex Systems Experiment
(Project Investigator: LIN, I)
Compared to the large scale strong field laser plasma facility, this subproject
mainly composes smaller scale advance complex system experiments. Based on
excellent infrastructures and researches supported by the funding of previous phase,
there will be experiments on strongly coupled dusty plasma liquids, complex and
bio-fluids, neural networks and heart dynamics, biomembrane, cell molecular motor and
advance nano-bio imaging. Researches come from Physics, Biophysics, Life Science,
and Chemical & Material Engineering in NCU. All the problems in the subproject have
very close connections in both fundamental theoretical principle and experiment. They
are studying nonlinear spatial structures and dynamics of different complex systems. For
example in strongly coupled dusty plasma, microscale suspended charge particles
organized into liquid state through mutual interaction. By direct observation of
individual motions, we can understand dynamics and structure of liquid from
micromotions. Under strong interaction and random thermal motion, cold liquids exhibit
local order and multiple length scale and dynamics. This dynamics is very similar to the
synchroized and non-synchronized firing in neuron network and heart system. Bio- and
lipid membranes are also strongly coupled cold liquid systems, with unique ion channels.
From the view points of complex fluids, dusty plasma liquids, granular flows, or
bioflows such as bacteria colony all share common multiple spatial and temporal mode
excitation and energy transfer. Biofluids also have unique self excitations. All
experiments in the subproject share many experiment methodology and equipments.
This includes the digital imaging and analysis for large spatial and temporal dynamical
ranges, and local position controls with lasers. Biological sample preparation and
measurement will also be done in the core facilities setup during the previous phase.
Excitation and probe of neuron and heart system also utilize strong, short pulse lasers
developed in subproject 1.
(4) Component 3: Theoretical Research in Nonlinear Complex Systems
(Project Investigator: LAI, Pik-Yin)
The subproject combines theorists from physics, mathematics, biophysics, system
biology and bioinformatics, complex systems, and brain research center. The focus will
be on fundamental theory, mathematical tools, computer simulations, and theoretical
models, spanning wide spectrum of topics such as biophysics, soft matters, nonlinear
physics, dynamical systems, plasma theory and simulations. Simulations are common in
these problems, mostly using large scale computations to study strongly coupled and
nonlinear systems. Specific questions using multi-CPU parallel computations include
strong field plasma, coupled nonlinear dynamics, complex network dynamics and
function detection, multiple cell systems, cell evolution, complex fluid, and bioflows.
With the support of Center of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, cross-discipline
collaboration will also be greatly enhanced.
7
(5) Component 4: Pulse Light Source Applications on Materials Control and Diagnosis
(Project Investigator: CHEN, Szu-Yuan)
The subproject is to use the THz, infrared, visible light, UV, soft and hard X ray,
and gamma ray pulse source generated from high power infrared pulse laser system
(including 10 TW laser in Academic Sinica and 100 TW laser in NCU) and
corresponding laser plasma systems to development new techniques of novel materials.
These materials will have great application potentials in optics, energy, medicine, and
electronics. These light sources can probe the mechanisms of material growth, properties,
and applications. Laser plasmas are very efficient in board-band light wavelength
transformation. It can be used to produce full bandwidth pulse light sources, providing
an effect tools for probing of material static properties, as well as dynamics. Because the
high intensity of light pulse, it can also be used to control growth morphology. Lights
have been used extensively in past decades as material probing tools. However there are
relative few studies using lights for controlling purposes. We will use pulse lights in
different wave lengths to create a new material growth platform. We will try to control
various material processing stages, such as target sputtering, plasma or molecule flight,
substrate surface diffusion, substrate preprocessing and sample light post processing.
Light can also be used to study and control solar cell, solar hydration device, organic and
semiconductor light-emitting device, quantum computing device, ultrafast magnetic
device, free radical removing drugs or devices, antibiotics, protein structure analysis,
nuclear quantum optics and nonlinear optics.
III. Overall and Annual Objectives

IV. Response and Improvements to Initial Review Opinions
Initial review opinion:
The thrust area has proposed a very well defined plan to use its 100TW Laser-Plasma
facility. The only question is how do they plan to integrate this research into the education
process? Also, it would be worthy to have a website to inform the public of their
achievements – maybe there already is a website, but if so, it is not mentioned in the
proposal.

Response:
We are very thankful to the positive review comments. We will increase our education
and outreach programs of 100 TW laser experiments. Some of the more basic experimental
techniques will be integrated into various physics courses, nurturing interests and ability on
advance optics. It will also serve the purpose of preparing new generation of students on
strong field laser research. The outreach programs will conclude public lectures and
demonstrations for general public. The web links for our projects and groups are also added
in the web pages of physics department http://www.phy.ncu.edu.tw/en/index.php
